Official Match Thread Season 33 Round 17 - Gumbies FFC vs Roys FFC at The House of Gumby

[Dory_77]

Wowee, a season and half in they're already naming streets after me. I could be the greatest Gumby who ever lived

 

[Wosh]

On that logic, better keep one in the bedroom too in case things get saucy.

Are you a rookie?

 

[GWS Goose]

Gumbania becomes the first of Sweet's suburbs to have every one of its streets be given a name. Even the CBD still has a couple of unnamed streets, but not the home of the Gumbies. Oh no.

[Falconista]

Are you a rookie?

In Sweet FA, yes

 

[Falconista]

Wowee, a season and half in they're already naming streets after me. I could be the greatest Gumby who ever lived

Everyone knows you're a future Fred winner.

 

[Wosh]

In Sweet FA, yes

Good stuff.

 

[Mobbs]

In Sweet FA, yes

I actually knew this 'cause I was reading a bunch of Gumbies over the squad lists last night, in order to randomly find names that might suit a street name.

Randomly find names, Dory_77 ... randomly find names

But it's still something to tease Falconista about so be sure to ask regularly who has a street named affter them

 

[Mobbs]

How is there not a street named after me

Because you have a stupid name!

 

[hotchilli]

Because you have a stupid name!

Has anyone wished you a good morning today Mobbs?

I've become known as a bit of an enforcer in my first season.

Please don't shit yourself in the car on the way to the ground again Rodney Dangerfield

I will be gentle I swear...

Rodney Dangerfield has a mate who quite literally shat himself on the MCG in front of 70,000 people (the 70k may not be the exact number, but close enough), he has no fear of going all ScoMo in engadine Maccas

Is Rodney Dangerfield mates with the English cricket team?

There was a lot of brown whites when facing ScoBo this summer.

I cant remember the exact circumstances, but it is a good story.
I want to say it was AFL GF day, but that could be a bit of embellishment from me.

 

[Mobbs]

Hi Mobbs. Yes it looks a stinker, here's a review.



Baz Luhrmann has given us another pointless explosion of super-spangly sparkles in celluloid form – exactly the same sparkles he sprinkled over the Moulin Rouge and Jay Gatsby in previous films. And just as Alan Partridge said his favourite Beatles album was The Best of the Beatles, so Luhrmann has given us a film built around what he imagines is the best of Elvis Presley.
It’s not a movie so much as 159-minute trailer for a film called Elvis – a relentless, frantically flashy montage, epic and yet negligible at the same time, with no variation of pace. At the end of it all, you might find yourself pondering the eternal questions: what does Luhrmann think of Elvis’s music? Does he, for example, prefer some Elvis songs to others? Has he listened to any of Elvis’s songs all the way through? Or does he shut down Spotify after 20 seconds once he reckons he’s got the gist?

Exactly as I anticipate it. Alan Partridge's comment is brilliant btw

This is how I feel about all Baz films.

My father in law taught Baz in Port Macquarie in the 80's (or perhaps 70's) and is perpetually surprised at his success.

I liked Strictly Ballroom for what it was. But Romeo & Juliet instantly turned me off him. The missus liked it though.

She came to her senses with that Moulin Rouge insult.

There is however one Australian movie I haven't seen, in which Baz Lurhmann reportedly has a small acting role, possibly only a cameo. "The Highest Honour". It's about the aftermatch of the failed sequel to Operation Jaywick - and the cast is a who's who of Aust TV. Defoes wanna see this one day.

 

[beez]

Yes, just like the Gumbies are the greatest Sweet FA team at present, Gettin' Square is the greatest Australian movie of all time.

A great movie, but definitely not the greatest.
